Integrating Cheese with Empathy[Weekly Report 04+05]

[Raluca-Elena Podiuc <ralucaelena1985 gmail com>]

Hi all,

This two weeks: I first ported Cheese's Video source to decouple it from depending on ClutterTexture, but after some talk with my mentor I decided to discard those changes and make Empathy use ClutterTexture in the first place.

I finished the implementation of Empathy's video widget with a simpler GTK-Clutter based implementation and did some cleanups made possible by the simpler implementation: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653449

I also hit a bug in Clutter, debugged for a day with some help from IRC #clutter.
Fix commited in HEAD: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653435

Next up: using cheese-video-source as a video source in Empathy.

My git repository can be found here: https://github.com/raluca-elena/empathy-cheese

I will soon post some more details on my blog :)

Have a great week,
Raluca-Elena
